The Farmers Alliance.

The Farmers Alliance IS organ ized in Texas in the interest of the farmers. aud has spread thence to a number of other states.
 The Farmers Alliance is based largely on the principles of cooper ation, which has beeu tried with great success in England. Its aims, however, are much more ambitious than those of the English cooper. ative societies. It has, or is to have, its exchange in Waco, Little Rock, Vicksburg, Shreveport, and a central office in New ..Orlcans, if this can be arranged; it's factories, and mills at Marble Falls, in Tex. as, where immense water power has been purchased and where a town has been laid of, with every municipal advantage; it's new spa per devoted to agricultural inter ests. and, in fact, everything requi- red to carry on business.
 The Alliance seeks to escape the burden of the middlemen. It will sell the cotton of it's members, not in the present stingy way, one member selling three and four bales, but by the thousand and hundreds of thousands of bales, - It expects to save millions by pur- chasing it's agricultural implements in large quantities instead of few at time; and it proposes in this and other ways to save the farmers of the country an immense amount now lost in the present system of conducting business and of buying and selling.
 The scheme is. of course, an ex. pertinent, but the Texas farmers go into if with great enthusiasm and are confidant of success. It remains to be seen whether 1t will be satisfactory in all it's opera. tions or..not. The success of the cooperation movement in England ought to encourage it, although, as we have said, the scheme of the Farmers Alliance is much more ambitious than anything ever tried before. It can not be denied that the agricultural interests of the country have at times been victim. ized by railroads and others. The Grange and various other move ments were originated to set right the evils of which they complain. ed: and some good has been accom- plished by them. It must be said of the Alliance that it starts out most auspiciously, and is well back ed by the farmers of Texas and many in Louisiana, Arkansas and neighboring states. It declares that it has no desire to antagonize or iniure other interests and does not intend to do so. It will do we'll to adhere strictly to this poll. cy. It has undertaken an immense task as it is. and any conflict or quarrel with others may endanger its success. New Orleans Times. Democrat.

A shocking tragedy occurred at Kur-

Sepoy of the Twenty-sixth Native In

morning. He first shot two Sepoys
who were asleep in the barrack vcran-

nothing could be done till daylight,
when detachments were sent in various
directions TO search for him. Mean
while the murderer had proceeded to
the soldiers bazaar and had shot four
shopkecpers who were sleeping outside
their houses. He then went to the plain
behind the infantry lines and shot five
cartmen. When he found that the
regiment had turned out, he took re-

fired many rounds. The Colonel called
for volunteers to rush in upon him, and

Boy of the Slashes'' was the candidate
of the Wing for the Presidency, it be-
came known that he had overdrawn
his bank account at the Maysville Bank
for a considerable sum. One day three
gentlemen, strangers to President Scott

and asked Mr.. Scott howmuc Clay had
overdrawn- He replied tersely that
that was none of their business, and
that his bank was not in the habit of
telling strangers the private affairs of
It's customers. The visitors said they
had come to make the account good,
and that they had asked the question
that they might know how much would
be required of them. That placed a
different phase on the situation, and
Mr.. Scott told them that MIR. Clay's
account was overdrawn to an amount
approximating 100000. The visitors

How Mules Saved an Army,

Prior to the battle of Nashville Mai
Gen. James l.. Donaldson (who won
,honors in the Mexican war, and who
died in the spring of 1850 was Quar-
termaster under Gen. Thomas, Having
occasion to purchase mules for the
army, he ordered person in whom he
had confidence to visit the contiguous
Northern States, inadvertently saying to
him. *'Buy as many as you can''-not
supposing he would be able to secure
more than few thousand at the most.
Some weeks afterward, just before the
attack upon Hoods army, Gen. Donald
son, on meeting his agent, inquired how
many he had been able to secure. To
the amazement of the General he was
informed that $4,000 or more had been
obtained. Upon which the astonished
General exclaimed: am ruined man!
[ shall be court-nlartialed and be driven
from the army for not limiting you in
the purchase. You have procured many
times more than l had any idea or in
tention of purchasing; but the fault is
mine, not yours. ought to have been
particular in my orders"
In an extremely disheartened state
he went to his home, believing that
such thoughtless act on his part
conld not be overlooked by the COM
handing General. He had scarcely
reached his house before u messenger
came from Gen. Thomas with an order
= for Gen. Donaldson to come inmedi-
ately to headquarters. This seemed to
be the sealing of his fate, and in state
Of trepidation bordering OH frenzy he
appeared before Gen. Thomas, whom
he found in a mood apparently Of great
depression. Soon after Donaldson had
entered his presence Gen. Thomas said:
''Donaldson, how many mules haveyou
With some perturbation he replied:

Farming is . good business. when

ments that bring success in the city

traits Of character are the foundation
stones Of prosperity and happiness
everywhere. Farming does pay. when
It should pay. A knowledge that is
never satisfied with its own attainment;
an enterprise that continually submits
to good judgment; an energy that will
not rest short Of these
bring success in agriculture, in manu-
featuring, or in commerce.
Too many men are dissatisfied with
their occupation when they should be
dissatisfied with themselves. Not the
farm but the farmer is at fault. Farm
work is not mean work. unless mcanly
done. If rightly done, 1t is as much

his work because il is Of low grade
